Best Place for a Relaxing Holiday - Review of Peppers Blue On Blue Resort

We stayed at Peppers Blue On Blue for a family wedding. We took our car over on the ferry, which was great to explore the island. We had a 2 bedroom apartment on the third floor that overlooked the huge pool. The rooms were massive, plenty of room for my husband and 2 grown children. The only problem with the third floor is that there's no lift, 50 steps later, with bags etc, but the view was worth it. We had breakfast included and it was well worth it, great food. The wedding reception was also held here and it was also a wonderful place to be married. We shall return and request a room with a plunge pool. at Blue on Blue is the best place for a relaxing holiday.

The reception when you arrive (about 10 steps from the ferry) was very proficient. The room was not yet available (we were about an hour early). Later we were surprised it wasnt yet available as there were certainly not many people staying there. Delightful room (even though it overlooked the car park for the ferry), there was still a good view to be had too. Quite noisy though if you kept the doors open to let in the breeze.Comfortable bed, excellent shower and breakfast (included in the tariff) is a good standard. The floors however in the bathroom were badly stained and the carpet in our room had some issues that required actual repair. Excellent pool. Close to a very good gelati bar and supermarket. Easy to get the bus to all the other island places. Peppers are usually good quality accommodations and it was sad to see apartments already in a receivership sale.

We stayed at Peppers for a long weekend with my brother, sister-in-paw and 3 daughters in a 3 bedroom/2 bathroom suite. The hotel is located with beautiful views of the lagoon and ocean, and is conveniently close by the Nellie Bay ferry port, IGA supermarket and the Topless car rental office.

The rooms are modern and tasteful decorated. Their restaurant The Boardwalk was outstanding in terms of service, quality of meal and extensive but affordable wine list. Daily buffet breakfasts in the same location were also excellent. We all found the hotel staff to be both friendly and efficient. We used the BBQ facilities conveniently located by the huge hotel swimming pool.

Room Tip: Ask for the best view.

Only metres from the ferry terminal, Peppers Blue on Blue is situated right on the marina in close proximity to parking and shops. Our room was large and more than adequate and lived up to its 4.5 star rating. The restaurant and bar offered a varied menu/wine selection and all the meals and drinks were delicious although a bit pricey. Breakfast was included in the tariff. We were on the second floor which was serviced by a lift. Our friends were staying in the opposite wing and had to lug their suitcases up to the third floor as there was no lift so this may be of concern to some. The pools were very clean and inviting and the surrounding gardens well maintained. We plan to return at the first available opportunity.

Room Tip: The rooms overlooking the marina are worth the extra cost for the great view if you plan to spend mu...

We booked to stay at Peppers on Magnetic Island for 2 nights and were not disappointed. We had a throughly great visit and although our room overlooked the Ferry Terminal we were not disturbed by the noise. The room was a high standard and very spacious. The pool was to die for and was just a real luxury in being so large. The food at Peppers did not disappoint. We had stayed at a Peppers resort before and found the food to be of high quality, but expensive for us Brits especially due to the exchange rate. The food was plentiful and again of good quality, with great wine to match. We had breakfast included and can honestly say that the choice and quality of food was one of the best we have experienced in Australia. We can thoroughly recommend this great hotel and a great asset to be so close to the ferry so not far to travel when arriving and departing this fabulous island.

We cannot rate Peppers highly enough for the fabulous experience of not only our stay in the resort but for the perfect day we had for our daughters wedding on 13th April, on the marina deck at Peppers Blue on Blue, Nelly Bay. Jacquie, thank you so much for all your hard work, the bar staff for keeping the cocktails flowing, the wonderful Brenda who looked after our 23 strong wedding party at the reception, and the chefs who put on such a fabulous feast for us! The weather, the setting, the ease of being straight off the ferry and in the resort made the event for us, and Nelly Bay was the perfect base to explore the rest of this beautiful island from after the wedding. We had the full range of ages in our group, my one year old grandson, the twenty something's who enjoyed the Full Moon festival/party (!!), and grandparents with us and there was plenty for all to enjoy on Magnetic Island. From the bus drivers to the Op shop staff, the waiters at Picnic Bay hotel, the school children on their way to the tiny island school, everyone was very friendly and went above and beyond to make our holiday and the wedding very memorable. Our daughter sailed in with her bridesmaids on The Providence, which we also highly recommend. We all went out again on the boat for the sunset tour, and want to personally thank Lindsay for going out and purchasing our grandson a lifejacket so he could go with us; the crew were fabulous, both on the wedding day and the sunset tour. The resort is still fairly quiet, as is the island, you really can find many deserted beaches in the 20 bays, and the IGA is better stocked and cheaper than our local one back in a Brisbane bayside suburb! For anyone considering a wedding on the island Linda Ross is also highly recommended as a celebrant; like everyone else that was part of that day she exceeded our expectations.

Room Tip: Of those of us that stayed at Peppers, everyone had rooms facing the marina, we booked with The Best...
